your group got an assigment in the lab to preapre chromic acid claning solution for school lab use Name the ingredients and use of the solution
The term chromic acid is usually used for a mixture made by adding concentrated sulfuric acid to a dichromate, which may contain a variety of compounds, including solid chromium trioxide.

Use

Chromic acid is not a popular cleaning solution, because chromium is classified as a carcinogen. It is still used occasionally despite the careful handling that it requires because it is effective at removing cloudy stains from glass that no other cleaner does. Using extreme caution, it is possible to make a chromic acid cleaning solution at home.
